Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 62 Audrey Opens the Box of Ceres

Backlund, Mr. A's Extraordinary Gathering.

Audrey came to this extraordinary gathering with Grallant, Foers and Hugh.

Walking into the party hall, Audrey, who had become an audience, saw a number of people sitting scattered around inside. Some of them were trying to cover their faces in various ways, such as with hoods and masks, while others didn't care at all and frankly exposed their facial features.

The one who caught Audrey's eye the most was a gentleman in a tuxedo and a black hat. But it was not his clothes that attracted Audrey, but the mechanical head under his hat.

Audrey guessed that it was probably a hood.

ScrewGum felt what he thought was Audrey's subtle gaze, turned slightly sideways, and looked back at Audrey.

Their eyes met, and ScrewGum nodded gracefully.

Then, Screwgum looked past Audrey and saw Ceris greeting him in an exaggerated manner.

He stood up from his chair and walked towards Ceres.

ScrewGum left, and Audrey noticed the man in a black robe sitting on a single sofa.

This man also wore a hood, hiding his features in the shadows. He stared at the visitor silently, giving people a feeling of looking down from above.

She was very confident, but her eyes were disgusting, and they kept moving over me like two slippery tentacles, trying to strip off my clothes... Audrey had sharp senses and careful observations, and she made a calm judgment, but she almost got goose bumps.

Fores introduced her: "This is Mr. A, a powerful Beyonder."

Audrey nodded in understanding.

Mr. A? This feels more like a code name for a criminal than a name for a mysterious and powerful person... It can't be compared to "The Fool" at all... No, the only people who can be compared to Mr. Fool should be gods or figures second only to gods...

In short, he is not as good as God Y.

Audrey's thoughts turned, and she was suddenly filled with a sense of superiority.

Conclusion: It’s played by Y God.

"So, what deeds did this gentleman do?" Viscount Grelint, who was also wearing a hooded robe, was also very curious about this.

Hugh Dilcha replied with a serious face, "There have been several such incidents. Sequence 8 and even Sequence 7 Beyonders have targeted Mr. A and tried to deal with him, but in the end, they all disappeared without a trace."

After all, Mr. A is Sequence 5, so it is easy for him to beat Sequence 8.

It's impossible for sequence five to lose against sequence eight, right?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Audrey listened to the conversation between the few people in a disjointed manner. Suddenly, her ears moved slightly and she heard the kind of words that "although she had never learned it, she could understand it."

"It's a pleasure to meet you here, Mr. Ceres. Logic: The reunion happened earlier than expected."

"This is beyond my expectations, Mr. Screwgum. In fact, I can't believe that geniuses can actually find this place."

The voice of the first sentence was calm and elegant, completely different from Mr. Devil, but the frivolous tone of the other sentence was exactly the same as Mr. Devil.

Audrey was surprised, but she still observed secretly, thinking she was calm.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the two people chatting behind her. The frivolous man with the mask hanging from his waist and the elegant gentleman with the mechanical head were shaking hands, seemingly exchanging pleasantries. "So Mr. Devil's name is Cerrius," Audrey said with a chuckle. "He definitely didn't know my identity, but I discovered it," Audrey was certain.

Soon their hands separated.

"Indeed, we received help from that person. However, I suspect this was a deal between [Boshizun] and [Aha]."

Boshizun? Aha? Who are they? Audrey didn't understand, but she took note.

Hearing this, Serris roughly guessed that the arrival of the genius and fellow omnic, ScrewGum, had likely brought some of Boshizun's computing power. For Boshizun, this little bit of computing power could quickly build a whole new self.

Serris wasn't interested in the Star Gods' plot. He changed the subject, saying, "Actually, it's no coincidence that we've met here."

"Indeed." Screwgum nodded in confirmation. "According to my calculations, the probability of you coming here is as high as 13.19 percent. It's a pity that I can't give a very precise number. After all, the believers of [Pleasure] are always so elusive."

Audrey's eyes widened. This... could you actually calculate the probability of a person appearing in a certain place? This was too impressive. But... what did "joy believer" mean?
After saying that, ScrewGum added, "In fact, I've tried my luck in one hundred and twenty-seven places in the past three days."

"Hmm..." Serris hooked his arm around Screwgum's shoulder and led him to a seat. "You really want to find me?"

"Ms. Black Tower and Ms. Ruan Mei both told me to tell you something," ScrewGum explained. "Ms. Black Tower wants to demand royalties for the simulated universe and the return of the eleven dolls that were stolen from you."

Audrey raised her eyebrows. Mr. Devil actually stole things?
"Ms. Ruan Mei wants you to remove her communication account from your blacklist. She has some academic discussions she would like to discuss with you."

Serris smacked his lips and patted Screwgum's shoulder. "As for the copyright...it's a small matter, nothing at all. I know what she wants. As for the dolls, I can't return them for now. I've turned them into processors for the simulated universe."

Serris took out the Jail Bucket Boy, opened it, and handed it to Screw-Gum. "Look."

There are eleven black tower figures with antennas on their heads. They hold hands and form a circle, slowly rotating clockwise, and making "gurgling", "gurgling" and "circle" sounds from their mouths from time to time.

"Evaluation: The utilization rate of computing power is too low." This is a pertinent comment from ScrewGum.

"Of course I know." Serris nudged ScrewGum with his elbow. "Could you help me get a better one someday?"

"Price: I need thirty percent of the rights to simulate the universe here." Screw Gum put forward the conditions.

"No," Ceres bargained, adhering to the principle of haggling the price in half, "3 percent."

"I don't think 'cutting the price in half' means splitting the numbers," said Grumm. "But I agree."

Serris curled his lips. In fact, he knew very well that it didn't matter how much authority was given. His firewall couldn't protect against ScrewGum anyway.

He stood up from his seat and walked to the front of the hall to write a few things on the blackboard. He planned to sell a few small items. After all, it was more fun when the situation was chaotic.

PS: My last chapter was blocked? No, why?

OK, awesome! This is awesome! Last chapter, the protagonist didn't save the person, and I don't know why that *蕉蕉* reported him. Now it's stuck under review. Awesome! This is awesome!

Some people also reported that my book is similar to another work, "Lord of Mysteries".

Hahahaha, if the review hadn’t disapproved it, I really wouldn’t know how to change it.
